💡 A "business" can be one person with an idea — handmade art, a tour service, homemade food, a new product. Tell your story your way.

1. Your name 2. Best way to reach you (email or phone) 3. Your city / country 4. Tell us a little about yourself and your life right now 5. In your own words, your money / income situation (no numbers or documents) 6. What business or idea do you want to start? 7. Who would it help, or who would buy it? 8. What stage are you at? (just an idea / started a little / already selling) 9. The single biggest thing stopping you right now 10. If you received a seed grant, what would you spend it on first? 11. What help do you need besides money? (mentorship, design, connections, a website…) 12. Skills, languages, or experience you already have 13. How many hours a week can you put into this? 14. Why does making this happen matter to you? 15. Your startup numbers — the seed capital you need to start, your weekly running costs, and what you plan to charge (the AI helper builds this with you)
